Also, I advice you to look ovbenefiter the blog itself. it discuss network issuse sometimes in a good way..

last thing, I have an idea..
It is traslating english topics that you like to arabic so you will get the benefit from it more and let it pass to the arabic computer community.

The Story Behind the “@” Symbol

343networks — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 18:12:57 +0000

“Ray Tomlinson made this decision while writing e-mail programs. He needed a way to separate, in the e-mail address, the name of the user from the machine the user was on. How should that be denoted? He wanted a character that would not, under any circumstances, be found in the user’s name. He looked down at the keyboard he was using, a Model 33 Teletype, which almost everyone else on the Net used, too. In addition to the letters and numerals there were about a dozen punctuation marks. “I got there first, so I got to choose any punctuation I wanted,” Tomlinson said. “I chose the @ sign.” The character also had the advantage of meaning “at” the designated institution. He had no idea he was creating an icon for the wired world.”

Using Google DNS !

If you are using STC services, sometime you face problems in opening certain web pages specially if the web page server is located outside the kingdom and one of these reasons is due to problems in our DNS services (heavy traffic)

But don’t you worry, you can solve this problem by using Google’s public DNS! try it
Primary Address: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4

source: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/

Try it and post back if you noticed any difference in speed with outside-kingdom websites (e.g. youtube, facebook)
